River here,

If I say so myself, I am a handsome,exceptionally sweet and fun-loving Australian Shepherd mix, who is ready to bring joy and companionship to your home! My mom has a chronic illness and needs to re-home me. At just 1.5 years old and 55 pounds, I have a playful spirit and a high energy level, that makes me the perfect adventure buddy. Whether you're going for a hike, swimming in a lake or river,  or just lounging on the couch, I will be right by your side. I have nothing but love in me. I am  an affectionate boy who thrives on companionship and connection. I am very attuned to energy, so I know when to support. I am house-trained, leash trained, do not destroy household items and get along beautifully with other dogs and children, making me an ideal addition to any family. My loving nature and friendly demeanor will melt your heart! I may be a bit too energetic for small children, so older children in the home please.

River would thrive in an active household where he can receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, family adventurers as he loves riding in the car and camping. He’s looking for a loving family who can appreciate his sweet personality and provide him with the care and attention he deserves.
